Chemical Peel

What is a Chemical Peel?

At Shape the Wave in Gurnee, we offer chemical peels—an advanced skin-resurfacing treatment designed to enhance your overall skin tone and texture through the application of a chemical solution. Our team specializes in superficial and medium chemical peels, each tailored to different skin needs. While a deeper chemical peel delivers more dramatic results, it also involves longer recovery periods.

Light and medium chemical peels are quick, in-office treatments and can be performed multiple times. In contrast, deep chemical peels are reserved for severe skin conditions and are typically done only once. For added benefits, light or medium peels may be combined with microdermabrasion or a facial. Schedule your consultation with us today to discover the best solution for your skin!

How Does It Work?

A specialist applies a solution to your face, followed by neutralization or rinsing and hydrating skincare. Expect mild redness, irritation, and peeling, similar to a light sunburn.
